SERVICES

Complete Desktop OS, Support & Deployment Solutions — from Operating System desktop deployment to ongoing Support and AMC, explore everything OpenLx offers organizations moving to a secure, affordable Linux desktop.

OpenLx is a complete, ready-to-deploy desktop ecosystem — not just an operating system, but everything an organization needs to work, create, communicate, and stay secure. Below is everything included in the OpenLx offering.

a). OpenLx Saves Your Existing Hardware's Life

Your existing computers are not the problem. Most organizations replace desktops not because the machines have failed, but because a new operating system will no longer run on them. That is a software decision presented as a hardware necessity. OpenLx is built to run well on the machines you already own — so the replacement cycle stops, and the capital budget goes somewhere useful.

b). The OpenLx Operating System for Desktop

A modern, stable Linux distribution engineered for everyday productivity and large-scale roll-outs. Designed with a clean, intuitive graphical interface, OpenLx is easy for new users to adopt — often within minutes — while giving IT administrators the reliability and control they need for bulk deployment across hundreds or thousands of desktops.

c). Productivity Suite

Complete Office Compatibility — OpenLx ships with a full-featured office suite that opens, edits, and saves files in the formats your organization already uses:

• Word processing — fully compatible with DOC and DOCX files
• Spreadsheets — fully compatible with XLS and XLSX files
• Presentations — fully compatible with PPT and PPTX files
• Database management tools for building and maintaining structured data
• Drawing and diagramming tools for charts, flowcharts, and technical illustrations
• One-click export to PDF from any document, spreadsheet, presentation, or drawing

Your existing documents open, edit and save exactly as expected. Complex macros and VB scripts written for proprietary software need to be rebuilt once — and we do that as part of the migration.

d). Internet & Communication

• Web Browsing — Mozilla Firefox comes pre-installed, with the freedom to add Chrome or any browser of your choice
• Email — Thunderbird provides a secure, professional email client for individual and organizational use
• Conferencing & Broadcasting — tools (OBS Studio - Open Broadcaster Software) are available free of license cost for video conferencing and broadcast, keeping teams and institutions connected
• Internet & Various Tools — built-in / available free of license cost tools like FTP, SSH, Monitoring, Networking etc.

e). Graphics & Multimedia

• Creative Tools — GIMP for photo editing and image design, Blender for 3D modeling and animation (available without license fee), alongside a suite of additional graphics utilities
• Photo Management — organize, view, and manage image libraries with ease
• Audio & Video Playback — smooth, built-in playback for all common media formats, with editors easily added when needed (available without license fee)
• Video Broadcasting & Conferencing — tools (OBS Studio, available without license fee), ready for training sessions, webinars, and institutional broadcasts

f). System Utilities & Everyday Tools

OpenLx includes a comprehensive set of utilities for daily desktop use, including system monitoring tools to track performance and health, along with a wide range of additional utilities that a modern desktop environment demands — available without license fee.

g). Security — Built In, Not Bolted On

Security is not an add-on in OpenLx; it is architectural.

• Not vulnerable to Windows-targeted malware — the overwhelming majority of desktop malware in circulation today is built specifically to exploit Windows systems. OpenLx Linux's architecture is fundamentally different, closing off this entire category of threats.
• No antivirus license costs — with a dramatically reduced attack surface, organizations save on recurring antivirus subscriptions
• Policy-compliant security posture — suited for institutions with strict data protection, governance, and compliance requirements
• Independently assessed — a vulnerability assessment and penetration test carried out by auditors appointed by a State Government, and separately approved by a State IT Committee. Reports available to prospective customers on request.

h). Risk Mitigation and Commercial Safeguards

How we take the risk off you. Adopting a new desktop platform across an organisation is a decision somebody has to sign for. These commitments are offered as standard, and we will write any of them into the contract:

• No-cost proof of concept — on your own machines, with your own applications and your own users, before any commitment of any kind.
• Payment against acceptance — released against machines the organization has actually accepted, not against supply.
• Performance bank guarantee — held by you, from a scheduled commercial bank.
• Source and build deposited with you — the complete build and repository, updated at each release, so you are never dependent on our continuing to exist.
• Perpetual right of use — nothing stops working if a contract ends. There is no time lock and no deactivation.
• Documented reversibility — every machine imaged before migration, so it can be restored with its data intact. Migration is not a one-way step.
• The full set of commercial safeguards is available on request, and forms part of every large deployment agreement.

i). AMC

• AMC for the Computers using OpenLx Linux Desktop, after completing the first year of in-built support, at very friendly & affordable rates.

j). Deployment & Support for Bulk Users

Unlike consumer Linux distributions, OpenLx is engineered from the ground up for organizational-scale deployment:

• Roll-out support for hundreds or thousands of desktops
• Training and on-boarding assistance for smooth user adoption
• Ongoing technical support from an Indian team that understands Indian institutions
• A product road-map shaped by the real needs of schools, government offices, and enterprises

k). Why Organizations Choose OpenLx

l). Additional Benefits

● Hardware life — Keep the computers you already have. OpenLx runs on the machines your organization is being told to replace — for their full working life.
● The software license is perpetual and free of cost. Savings recur in every subsequent year, because no operating system, office suite or anti-virus license falls due for renewal, and because hardware replacement continues to be deferred.
● Not vulnerable to the Windows-targeted malware that accounts for the overwhelming majority of desktop infections, and no anti-virus license cost.
● Data and software remain under national control, supporting India's Open-Source IT Policy for government computing.
● Local employment and skill-building opportunities open up around support, training, and roll-out.
